Hi, I’m Mel Torrefranca.
When I’m not filming YouTube videos or drinking one too many lattes, you’ll find me immersed in the world of storytelling and publishing. My passion for writing began at age seven and led to the launch of my debut novel, Leaving Wishville, as a high schooler.
In 2020, I founded Lost Island Press to share stories I love and connect with readers who love them too. Every publication is either one I wrote myself or selected according to the tastes of our readers.
Thank you for visiting Lost Island. I welcome you to get lost in a story we share.
